John Sterling KNOWS He Makes No Sense

News Flash: Even John Sterling thinks John Sterling makes no sense! During tonight’s post-game show, the Voice of the Yankees said he wanted to treat us (and Snoozin’ Waldman) to a few coincidences (or “coinkydinks” in Sterling Speak). He then proceeded to list a few statistics that, for the most part, had nothing in common. First, Sterling compared tonight’s attendance to last night’s (they were different). Then, he compared the time of game from yesterday to today (they were different). Finally, he pointed out that yesterday, Yankee pitchers struck out six and…wait for it…tonight Yankee pitchers struck out six! A .333 average is great for a hitter, but in the world of coincidence hunting, it’s no great shakes. Then, as if by way of explanation, Sterling stated “Now you may ask what this all means.” Well, yes John, I do. His answer? “Nothing,” he said. “It means nothing!” Finally, he realizes what Yankee fans have known for quite some time. His observations are worthless.

I think the point is this: you just can't figure baseball. You can't. You just can't figure it. You could make a lot of money at it if you could predict it, but you can't. And you can't make as much money as you would with a boatload of commercial contracts. And of the two things, J-Sterl has figured the latter out. And he's laughing all the way to the bank, in his pinstriped pantaloons.
